Seek advice on the building regulations
In certain cases, advice can be obtained from the lower building supervisory authority on individual legal requirements for planned building projects.

Basic information
Anyone who wants to build, convert or renovate is faced with a multitude of questions: What does the development plan stipulate? Do I need to have my building project approved? Where do I submit my building application?
You can contact the staff in the building regulations department with these and other questions about building. Not only citizens are advised by the employees of the building supervision department, but also architects often contact the building supervision department before submitting a building application.
Requirements
The consultation should only relate to issues that are the subject of the building inspection program or that fall within the scope of building regulations and building planning law.
Issues that do not fall within the remit of the building supervisory authorities are to be clarified directly with the relevant specialist authorities.

Procedure
Building advice can be provided by telephone, in text form or in person.
We recommend making an appointment in advance for a personal building consultation.
